What Will Drive the Vote in '06?

Today, everyone is talking about The Ads: Taylor's and the one by Georgians for Truth, yet, just like the flaggers and the teachers of 2002, there are some obvious and some just-under-the -radar issues that will drive the vote this year.

I predict that a Democrat will become Governor in Georgia if:

1).....in November gas is over $3.00 a gallon.

2).....Bush's approval ratings continue to slide.

3)..... Ralph Reed is the Republican nominee for Lt. Governor.

4)......Medicaid cost recovery proceeds, and the state begins to seize estate assets to recoup nursing home costs.

5)....... Delta or another major employer tanks.

6).......Cathy Cox wins the Democratic Primary.What do you think will drive the vote?
